Busy Weekend

This is the first of many house projects P and I will work on this summer. Saturdays project was getting the vegetable garden up and running. P and I carried the garden boarders and tons (not really) of soil and compost to the back yard. I spent most of my day cutting sod and making sure the soil was just right. Today I planted many of the vegetables I was so excited to get into the ground.

We also tackled another eye sore in the yard. This area is over grown with weeds and Hostas. I do enjoy the variety of Hostas in the yard, however they were not landscaped the way I enjoy them. So P and I tackled this project in the heat of the day. I am so pleased with how the new Hosta garden looks!

Half Marathon Finished

Today was success in my mind. I completed my first half marathon! The training process was rigorous and challenging and the race was no different. The night before the race I got the best advice I could have been given - "No matter what, enjoy the experience!" I completed that without a problem. I struggled through the race at times, but knowing that no matter what I would finish.

Goal number 1 - finish the race - no matter what it will be a personal record :)

Goal number 2 - enjoy it enough to prepare for t

he next one

In my mind I am ready for that second race. With a some experience gained from this first race and fine tuning my training schedule the second one will be as good as (hopefully better) than the first!
